kristen, mark, kamryn & amelia

at 33, i have never had a cavity or braces and like to brag on this little tidbit of mine at every opportunity, especially when i meet a dentist. i’m humble like that. mark is a dentist and it’s obvious after one look at his wife and girls that he’s an expert smile maker. he loves...

Wow oh Wow!! Those have got to be 2 of the cutest little girls ever!! Those tea party pics made me wish I had a daughter! (and those who know me well, know that is something I rarely say) :)

Kristen G. - July 12, 2010 - 8:35 pm

I heart the Hunts! Anxiously awaiting our next get away-Mark may bring his own background music to serenade you ;)

weekend at burnley’s

we had our 4 year old niece, burnley, for a few days while her parents celebrated their 10 year anniversary in the caribbean. we swam and watched fireworks, ate at ‘chick-a-lay’ and painted our toes a delicious shade of glittery pink. we went to starbucks and the bookstore and  made paper art with supplies we...

I pictured such a small girl holding a short latte when I read you went to Starbucks. It made me chuckle, then reality hit and of course she didn’t get coffee but juice…organic healthy juice. What a “fwippin’” cute girl!

Heather Witt - July 8, 2010 - 10:56 pm

Nikki Bright - July 8, 2010 - 10:38 pm

Nick - July 8, 2010 - 2:28 pm

Oh my. How precious. But then again, I’m partial to little girls with room stopping smiles. You guys can hang out with Caroline any time for us to go away for the weekend, or even a night. Seriously though, the next time you come over you need to come before she goes to bed. I want her to know you two.

melanie - July 8, 2010 - 12:32 pm

Some time before, I really needed to buy a car for my organization but I didn’t earn enough money and couldn’t buy anything. Thank heaven my comrade adviced to get the loans at banks. So, I acted that and used to be happy with my collateral loan.

Jen G - August 15, 2010 - 9:32 am

Jen, Thank you for sharing this most heartfelt story, your friend is incredibly brave. I know this is very difficult to go through but her support group is amazing. Currently my aunt is going through the same thing, thankfully it hadn’t spread to her lympnodes and her chemo treatment is almost done – but a little helpful site – https://www.lotsahelpinghands.com With this site you’re able to set up a blog so she can keep everyone informed of what is going on and keep her phone line a little more clear. People can post their well wishes, or even post they’d like to bring her and her family dinner one night!

I pray for her and her family, they’ll need all the strength they can get!

Rebecca Parker - July 19, 2010 - 2:39 pm

Praying for you Amy. Thanking God that you are surrounded by the most amazing people. It is your beautiful smile,courage and faith that inspire me in my journey.

Patti McGee - July 14, 2010 - 8:01 am

Amy, I have never met you but reading your story has made me feel like I have known you for ever. I am a 7 year breast cancer survivor and I am just finishing up a book I am writing about cancer because it has changed my life so much. I wish you the best of luck in your journey and want you to know there are others out there that have traveled in the journey so seek them out and let them help you. God Bless.

Hope Bray - July 13, 2010 - 9:25 pm

Amy, I am praying for you to beat the poop out of this nasty thing! Jen, these photos are amazing!

Linda Gurley - July 13, 2010 - 11:45 am

Jen: This beautiful photo story should be published to help other women stay strong when they are first dignosed with Breast Cancer! I will pray for Amy!

eve fletcher - July 12, 2010 - 5:20 pm

I know Nancy, Amy’s Mom. I can see that beautiful Amy (inside and out) is much like her Mom. You really captured a striking resemblance between the 2 Christian women that God loves so much. I feel like I know this very brave woman named Amy. As I said–the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. My prayers include Amy and her entire family and friends to maintain their positive attitude, their faithfulness, their sense of humor, and their patience with God’s plans.

meredith huntley - July 12, 2010 - 9:53 am

i just shed a tear reading this! she will be in my prayers.

Holly Upton - July 10, 2010 - 6:21 pm

Jen,
You captured Amy’s beauty in a way that no one else can.

Allison - July 9, 2010 - 5:24 pm

Jen, though I don’t know you, I thank you with all of my heart for capturing my beautiful cousin and her family during this time. Your words are beautiful and pretty much say it all! Thank you! Amy…..I’m also a member of “Team Patwa” and I think and pray about you everyday. Please know that I love you and have no doubt that you will win this battle. Your positive outlook, and strong faith inspire me! Hair, no hair….you ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!

angela - July 8, 2010 - 11:03 am

I see Jesus in this post. In the way you all came together. In the way you all embraced your friend. To have friends like you and Amy have is an invaluable gift. Praying for a friend I do not know because we share the same Father.

Jennifer - July 7, 2010 - 7:09 pm

Absolutely beautiful. Both Amy and the friendships she has.

Bryce - July 7, 2010 - 5:52 pm

I am so glad that you were there to capture this event for the rest of us!! Amy, you are so BRAVE and BEAUTIFUL!! I hate that this is happening to you, but I am also thankful that you have the faith and the spirit to persevere and WIN your battle against cancer! Count me in.. I’m on team Patwa from afar!!

OMGosh Amy the tears are flowing freely right now, and I am just amazed at your strength and courage. You are a truly beautiful woman filled with the Spirit of the Lord.

Jen, what a beautiful thing you have captured here, and what a wonderful bunch of friends she has! I will keep you in my prayers, and just know that even though I don’t know you well, you are also in my thoughts daily.

God Bless,
Stacy Markle

Marilyn Sharp - July 7, 2010 - 10:51 am

Amy, the beautiful thing about you – and I’ve been drawn to that inner beauty since I first met you – is that you are totally wiggling in confidence all over God’s lap! The haircutting party is a visual illustration of His care for you and your absolute assurance of it. I am grateful to have attended this party via Jen’s skilled photography and written word. Now, hmmm I find myself wondering if God loves you more because he knows the number of the hairs on your head two times!:) I love you, my upheld friend.
